[Bad News Gertner]

She's so good at stuff like this.

[#1-norm-fan]

She’s much more likeable when she’s doing stuff like that than when she’s doing more general PR stuff. I was fully expecting to have to turn that off after a minute or so due to fakeness overload.

[slik]

Was reading a RAW recap...AJ/Omos haven't been on the show since winning the belts at WM? Are they both injured?

The business world LOVES her. She's perfect for this.

She's starting to get the old lady chest with freckles above the sweater kittens.

Isn’t there Corvid issues?

[Emperor Smeat]

Its either that or one of them managed to get hurt at Mania and WWE is keeping it a secret.

Nothing else would make sense as a reason to not have them show up since its not like anything interesting has happened for the RAW Tag division since Mania outside of Orton now being buddies with Riddle as a team.

I can’t begin to describe how much I hate the fact that this is a proper description for someone running a wrestling company.

Lots of time to read and learn while you're living in your basement. AEW fans really propping this up.

[Emperor Smeat]

CMLL broke off their partnership with Ring of Honor today.

Supposedly its due to them being very upset several ROH talent were going to work for RUSH's new promotion in Mexico and ROH doing nothing to stop them since they consider RUSH's new promotion to be a potential threat and rival.

[Bad News Gertner]

CMLL being CMLL

[Emperor Smeat]

Their level of pettiness towards wrestlers and other promotions is like the Mexican version of WWE.

I wouldn't be surprised if their partnership with NJPW is the next to go since its been in a fragile state ever since their antics against NJPW over NJPW's booking of Dragon Lee after he had a falling out with CMLL.

This A&E doc is pretty decent, but of course, it involves some eyerolling moments from Hogan...

i want to know what jim crocket did to vince, when jim died no salute. now in this piper bio acting like piper went to gcw just after portland forgetting wrestling in mid atlantic.

[Bad News Gertner]

I gotta check out the Piper documentary.

[drave]

It's good. So far, the Steve Austin and Piper A&E docs have been done very well. I don't know even a 10th of the shit you know, so maybe there are some big details missing, but the stories are told extremely well.

[Bad News Gertner]

I always found it interesting how much Piper gets talked up despite sucking ass at everything he did post Wrestlemania 3 aside from the WM8 stuff with Bret. I LOVE everything Piper did prior, but man was he just fucking awful after he left in 87

[drave]

The thing I remember most as a kid was him and Bad News Brown. Where he painted himself half black and did that weird promo where it sounded like he was struggling to breathe.


I think it was the WM6 promo.... not where he was in the crowd, but it was a backstage thing.

I thought he was a fucking cartoon in the late 90s when I started watching. I remember wondering how is this bitch with saggy tits beating Hogan.

[#1-norm-fan]

I don’t remember ever not loving Piper. He was easy to root for. Even loved the Lawler feud when I was a kid.

Also, he was great on Always Sunny.

What was he saying this time, yet another story or 2 that somehow never tallies up with everyone else's version of events? I remember him claiming he was in the room with Calloway when the Undertaker character was given to Calloway, which according to Calloway never happened and Vince offered him the character over the phone.

Hogan always seems to have this magical ability to somehow insert himself into relevant moments in wwe history, regardless if he was with the company at the time or not.

What a feud. Wouldn't appear in person so he just kept sending in terrible videos

You didn't like his Tag Title run with Flair?

Well for starters, one of them was how *he* was being the voice of reason on how Piper needed to job to Mr. T to help make wrestling bigger, and that a couple decades later in life, Piper agreed with him in hindsight. :roll:

Was the Piper-Lawler feud the origin of the impersonator swerve? It was done to death afterward but I can’t think of an example before.

Strictly WWF? I don't think so. This is a very "Memphisy" angle. I wouldn't be surprised if Lawler came up with this idea.

No.

[Volare]

Oh c'mon, they could be the better version of "The Beautiful People."

[Sixx]

There's so much plastic in that pic.

[Volare]

Not as much as Angelina and Velvet...

[Sixx]

Overall it's like WWE robbed a toy factory.

[Bad News Gertner]

Nothing is better than Velvet Sky

[drave]

There was nothing good about the Iiconics. Nothing.

[Evil Vito]

Shawn Spears has probably gotten a double BJ from the IIconics. I'm guessing that was probably good.

[Evil Vito]

This was posted years ago but I just remembered it and it was so fucking funny I needed to post it again. Kane talking about the 2011 Rumble on Busted Open:

Kane: This was Royal Rumble 2011, from Boston. I didn’t know what number or who I was throwing over just that they needed me. As soon as I got the area the boys were all huffing and puffing about something. Show (Big) came up to me and told me how Kev (Nash) had been offended by some last minute details and that he and Vince had it out. Then Show told me Kev had walked out. The backstory is apparently Kev was pissed that Vince wanted him to return as Diesel instead of the Nash character. I guess he felt like Vince was marginalizing all of the success he had in WCW with the Nash character. Anyways…

I was sitting with Mark (Henry) and Bryan (Danielson) in the locker room when sarge busted in and told me ‘Glenn you’re up.’ That meant that it was my turn to sort of go over the part of the rumble that I was going to be part of. It seemed strange getting the call so early, like several hours before the show started but I paid little mind. When I got to Vince’s office he was pacing around and seemed unhinged. ‘Glenn, we need to step up big tonight. You’re going to be a game changer tonight. Can we trust you Glenn?’

Vince has this way of empowering you. I really felt rejuvenated after hearing that. I really wasn’t expecting much for this event but now Vince had my interest peaked. He told me ‘We made some promises to some very loyal people (WWE universe) that a very special return would be happening. A return from Big Daddy Cool! However due to a mutual inability to come to an agreement; Kevin Nash will not be appearing tonight. That doesn’t mean we won’t see Diesel. Are you following me Glenn?’

I was sitting there in his office in disbelief. How in hell is he going to try and run me down the ramp dressed up like Kev (as Diesel) again? He told me they had a wig prepared that would look exactly like Kev’s hair; because I had short hair the time. He told me to go with sarge and test out the gear in private. There was a million things I wanted to say but I was really in such disbelief that I couldn’t mutter a single word. I stood up, Vince slapped me on my shoulder proud as a father could be, and I walked out with sarge leading the way.

I was really hoping this was some sort of joke but as sarge lead me into a private dressing room there it was all over again, the Diesel outfit that had nearly ended my wrestling career sixteen years earlier. Being the loyal employee I put the outfit on as well as the wig and waited in the room for someone to tell me what my match plan was.

It felt like forever waiting in that room staring at the wall wondering why in the hell am I doing this bullshit again? I was really close to taking the shitty outfit off and just going home when Pat (Patterson) came into the dressing room and told me Kev came back and he and Vince worked it out. I needed to give up my Diesel gear and get back in my Kane gear pronto. He told me that they were going with the original plan. One problem; no one told me the original plan. Pat told me to wait here and I did. He came back fifteen minutes later and told me they forgot about Kane and said I would be going in dead last at 40, eliminate EJ (Ezekiel Jackson) and be eliminated by Rey in under two minutes.

So that is why I was number 40. No one ever mentioned the Diesel change to me again. I still can’t believe those fuckers were going to march me down the aisle posing as Kev again. What a fucking nightmare.

[Jordan]

LOL I didn't know that Kane/Diesel story. As cool as the Diesel return was, Kane playing Diesel again would have been even better.

[Sepholio]

Once Kev changed his mind they should have ran with 2 Diesels in the rumble lol

Seems generic as fuck.

[Sepholio]

Yeah that theme is awful. Sounds like some shit made with frootyloops or a shit midi mixer circa 2002. One of the worst themes I've heard in awhile.

[Emperor Smeat]

Need to hear a clean version of it but the first thoughts I had was it feeling similar to Carmella's new theme with how the vocals and tone sounded.

It gives off some Final Boss style vibes but something about the theme itself is a bit off or weird.

[RP]

I think it's the best theme ever.

[Lock Jaw]

Should have just given him this theme

Watching the 97 royal rumble. PG-13 holds the ropes open for crush, but he just walks to a different side of the ring lol

Ahmed is wearing an extra pair of knee pads on his thighs. Hes wearing thigh pads.

[Bad News Gertner]

I love the 97 Rumble even though the roster was the shits


Fun fact: I can still recite PG-13's NOD rap

[Fignuts]

I don't know what you're talking about. Only a few entrants in and we've got phinneas godwin, fake razor, and a mexican bumblebee. This thing is packed!

[Fignuts]

Oh shit! The sultan!

[Fignuts]

Real talk though, the sultan has one of the most underappreciated themes ever. Tiger Ali had it as well I believe.

[Bad News Gertner]

And the Iron Shiek when he makes appearances

[Fignuts]

ahaha I forgot this was the one where Mil Mascaras eliminates himself.

For years, I've been looking for all the "Man's Man" vignettes. Only ever seen the one uploaded where it is implied that he chopped like 50 trees into a massive pile of firewood in a single afternoon, but not the ones where he's shaving with his axe or the one where he "doesn't need a can opener" and pops a food can open by squeezing it like Popeye. Pretty sure there's a couple more I can't remember offhand, but WWE usually did about 5 of them before a person debuted.

From the Savage A&E documentary.....

Hogan: "Savage and Steamboat didn't go out there and say 'oh we want to steal the show from Hogan and Andre'"

*immediately cut to Steamboat*

Steamboat: "We talked about wanting to have the match of the night and to do that we had to steal the show from Hogan and Andre."

Wut? So Flair allegedly never saw the chair shot despite the camera showing him looking directly at Austin as he gets the chair kicked into his head? Is that the "mistake" flair is meant to have made? The footage virtually makes no sense in that respect. :wtf:

The Between the Sheets Patreon shows are by far the best wrestling Patreon shows around. The stuff Bix and Zellner uncover is amazing

I just listened to their "Sale of WCW" shows and came out of it with a totally different impression of Jamie Kellner. He definitely does not deserve the blame for killing WCW.

Also had a thing for Doink too. Thought that was just the greatest character.

Don’t blame Jamie Kellner at all. He wouldn’t have canceled WCW if it weren’t such a money pit. And isn’t there a whole bunch of stuff about at least one of Eric Bischoff’s investors backing out when they saw the spreadsheets? So the Fusient sale was likely not going down anyway.

[Bad News Gertner]

So what had happened was Bischoff's investors wanted to own those time slots on TNT, which meant they could air whatever they wanted and could sell the time slots. So technically Fusient could air WCW for 6 months and up and decide "we aren't gonna air WCW" and replace it with whatever they wanted to and there's nothing TNT could do about it. Or they could sell the time slots. Can you imagine having no control over the prime time slots on your own network.

[Emperor Smeat]

According to Eric Bischoff, he once came up with a storyline in WCW that would have involved his character getting killed off and return as a ghost to haunt Nitro afterwards.

Only reason it didn't happen was due to TNT not being fond of that idea at all.

Eric Bischoff wanted to haunt babyfaces as the spirit of himself on WCW television.

Speaking on a recent Q&A episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer stated that the craziest pitches he ever received while in charge of WCW weren't from any particular talent, but rather himself. He details an angle that would have seen him "die" in a plane crash, but says that not only did his family have a hard time accepting it, but TNT executives were also not fond of it happening. He said the following:

“I think the weirdest pitches I’ve ever come across have been my own. Like when I was going to create my own death in an airplane crash in Mexico months before Halloween Havoc so I could show up as the spirit of myself and continue to haunt babyfaces. I was totally committed to do it…. I was so committed to doing things that were so off the wall and unexpected and over-the-top. I went so far as to sit down with Harvey Schiller and say, ‘Look, Harvey, this is how this is going to work. Here’s what I’d like to do.’ I had it all planned out. The reason -- because I lived in Arizona for a while, had a home in Arizona, and I thought, you know what, I’m going to -- no, this is before I bought my home in Arizona but Loree and I were going down to Arizona a lot. I had my own plane at the time so I thought, I can’t die in a plane crash in the United States because it would be too easy to verify that it wasn’t true. But in Mexico, you could die in a plane crash and it would take six months, if you were working hard, to find out if it was really true. It’s just a little different. So I thought, that’s what I need to do. Now I wasn’t really going to crash my plane in Mexico, or even land in Mexico, but I was going to plant the word that -- My family was in on it. My kids knew what I wanted to do. My wife -- she did not like it at all because I wasn’t telling the rest of my family. I was only telling my immediate family. So my wife had a real hard time with that storyline, and it never happened. I mean, that’s pretty bizarre, but I pitched myself that one. I should say I pitched it to Harvey and I got shut down on that one.”

I remember that episode of NXT where Kevin Dunn's audio got leaked. It was kinda interesting hearing him run the show. But that was in late 2010, before the days of a billion camera cuts.

Would be kinda fascinating to hear him call a show nowadays. Is he literally screaming at somebody to switch from camera to camera over and over again or is he doing it himself. It happens so rapidly. Dizzying.

For those who watched the Biography episode about Booker T on A&E from this past Sunday, supposedly the reason for the lack of any real talk about the infamous Road to Mania 19 storyline between Booker T and Triple H was due to WWE's involvement with the editing of the episode.

Someone who was interviewed for the episode mentioned how he talked in depth about the controversial storyline and knew it was going to get axed by WWE since it would have made the company look bad.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/iamjohnpollock?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@iamjohnpollock</a> I don't know if you have watched the Booker T doc yet, but here's some insight from one of the interview subjects <a href="https://t.co/25CKQTzMIW">pic.twitter.com/25CKQTzMIW</a></p>&mdash; Ben Goodman (@grandpashampoo) <a href="https://twitter.com/grandpashampoo/status/1391578452982042627?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 10, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Booker T claims that was never the case and the reason for the lack of talk about it on the episode was due to it never being one of the topics planned nor filmed for it.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T set the record straight on the story.

"How can it be pulled (when) it never actually got in," he said. "To write [that it got pulled], makes it seem like there was a whole lot of meat and potatoes on the bone of the story of Booker T and Triple H. I never gave that story a whole lot of credence or given a lot of thought to me losing that match. They talk about the story, and I understand that, but I never looked at my career and framed my career around a single match. I got paid more money for that match than I got paid for any match in my life. I'm not gonna complain about that. When people try to make something out of a racial issue between Booker T, Triple H, and WWE, someone is just trying to get some clicks. I just want everyone to know that, that was not what my story was about at the end of the day. My story is not about the dark side of WrestleMania 19. For people to want to make it about that, I get it and understand, but for me personally, that's not what my career makeup is about."

Booker noted that he saw a rough cut of the documentary a year ago and the WrestleMania 19 story was not part of that cut either. He also said that David Dennis started something by putting the tweet out and then deleting it.

John Pollock brought up a good point how that being missing from the episode was a total cop-out on WWE and A&E's end since the episode didn't shy away from other racism incidents Booker T encountered during his career in WCW and Global Wrestling Federation.

Always amuses me looking at moves like the neutralizer and the styles clash, wtf are both of these moves meant to be doing? I can only presume that both are meant to be head impact moves yet both are very obviously moves that impact the knees and not much else. In the case of the styles clash the head is already so close to the mat it makes even less sense. :wtf:

NXT usually does a better job than WWE's RAW & SD shows when it comes to cam work but they do suffer from Kevin Dunn-itis from time to time.

Jon Moxley made another surprise appearance for GCW and showed up at their Draft Day show last night after Nick Gage's match to continue their feud for the GCW title.

Jon Moxley appeared at the end of tonight’s GCW Draft Day event, but ended up being laid out by Nick Gage.

Gage had successfully defended the GCW World title at tonight’s show in Las Vegas against AJ Gray when Moxley came in and entered the ring as Gage was distracted. When Gage turned around, Moxley went to attack him, but Gage countered with a DDT. The two ended up brawling into the crowd as the show ended.

This isn’t the first time that Moxley has confronted Gage. Moxley appeared at the end of GCW’s Spring Break event back on April 10 after Gage had defeated Ricky Shane Page for the GCW World title. The two had a similar confrontation, but Moxley had the upper hand at that show, laying out Gage with two paradigm shifts.

Current rumor going around the net hints that Don Callis might be out as an executive for Impact Wrestling.

Basis for the rumor involves a recent update Impact's parent company Anthem Entertainment made on their website that no longer lists him as an Executive VP for Impact.

Fightful Select reported that Impact talent currently speculate that his role in the company has changed significantly but also still expect him to stick around as an on-screen personality for Impact shows.

A piano solo of undertakers theme on his last match would have been fitting if it had been a live match. Everything coming full circle with how the theme was conceptualised at the start and it making an appearance in its original form at the end.

Ring of Honor announced they will be having fans returning to their events starting with this year's Best in the World event on July 11th.

That leaves just Impact Wrestling and I think also the NWA as the only notable US promotions to not announce a date for the return of fans for their shows yet.

:lol: Miz's Wikipedia page actually includes a reference of him being eaten by zombies at Mania Backlash.

At Elimination Chamber on February 21, Miz would successfully cash his Money in the Bank contract in on WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, after McIntyre was assaulted by Bobby Lashley, starting his second reign with the WWE Championship.[302] However, Miz would lose the championship to Lashley on the March 1 episode of Raw, ending his reign at only eight days.[303] After this, Miz and Morrison feuded with rapper Bad Bunny and Damian Priest.[301][304][305] At WrestleMania 37 in April, Miz and Morrison were defeated by Bad Bunny and Priest.[306]. At WrestleMania Backlash Miz lost to Damien Priest, after the match he was eaten by zombies. [307]

Just started watching AEW's Dark Elevation show from Monday and this Adrian Alanis jobber sort of resembles Roman Reigns if he had a slightly smaller and leaner body.

Would have been a bit funny if a bootleg version of the Usos had suddenly shown up to help him against his match against Jungle Boy.

I've seen this gif several times now and still puzzled over what he was exactly trying to do for a finisher.

Looks like it was going to be a simple body slam that got completely screwed up and when he tried to save face with doing a powerslam instead, he also completely screwed that up as well.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wuertz is apparently part of several NXT releases coming in.

Alexander Wolfe, Kavita Devi, Vanessa Borne, Jessamyn Duke so far

That would explain the beatdown Wolfe got from Imperium last night on NXT and why his storyline with Dain fizzled out.

Duke getting released is a bit dumb since NXT is hyping up some sort of new MMA stable arriving soon and she has a legit background in it.

Devi became entirely replaceable once WWE signed a bunch of Indian wrestlers for their new NXT India branch since she no longer became their token female Indian wrestler.

Borne pretty much was a victim of "creative has nothing for you" and having one of the most botched call-ups ever. With most botched call-ups, Creative at least tries to do something with them before losing all interest. She didn't even get that treatment and instead had the double whammy of main roster creative not bothering to do something with her and NXT creative not bothering to take her back.

This weeks episode of Jeff Jarrett's podcast is on Owen Hart and it's fantastic

[Emperor Smeat]

According to Spectrum Sports 360's Jon Alba, Drake Wuertz release had less to do with him being a conspiracy nutjob in recent months and more due to him becoming very unbearable with it backstage and also allegations of him being a racist while at work.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">In the past 3 weeks, multiple WWE and NXT Superstars told me they believed Drake Wuertz was racist, and felt uncomfortable around him at the WWE Performance Center. One noted they even felt odd with him reffing closed-door matches at the PC. <br><br>This seemed like it was inevitable.</p>&mdash; Jon Alba (@JonAlba) <a href="https://twitter.com/JonAlba/status/1395081365855559680?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 19, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Sort of similar to Big Cass' release a few years ago where it wasn't due to him being a full blown MAGA and far right supporter but instead he was very unbearable with it both backstage and during road trips.


Edit: Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp reported a few more details regarding Drake's release and the biggest involved him pissing off Triple H after a meeting over the topic of not being a racist PoS while at work.

Damn. Will Ospreay had to relinquish the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship due to a neck injury. He will be returning to the UK to get treatment with no timetable for a return.

[drave]

Think this was heavily predicted years ago. That he would have some nasty injury that is.

[Sepholio]

Yeah with his style it was pretty much inevitable.

[fundiddle]

ospreay seemed banged up as fuck 5 years ago, can't imagine the drive of that guy. sad to hear but hope it's only a setback and not a retirement but he's not getting any younger working his way

Did anyone else have a longer list of terrible gimmicks than Barry Darsow

[Evil Vito]

My first time watching wrestling was April 1998 and by late 1998 I was watching the Saturday Night episodes.

So my first exposure to Darsow was him was this

Sean Ross ASAP reporting the velveteen dream has been released

[Emperor Smeat]

He was doomed the moment WWE released Wuertz since there was no way he was surviving this round of cuts if WWE was going to use the opportunity to also dump a nutjob from the company.

[Sepholio]

His bio is still up on WWE for what that's worth.

[screech]

He was doomed the moment WWE released Wuertz since there was no way he was surviving this round of cuts if WWE was going to use the opportunity to also dump a nutjob from the company.

Wait is there more than the alleged sending nudes to minors on Snapchat?

[Emperor Smeat]

That was the big one but supposedly he kept getting into trouble backstage over drugs and other issues and was never punished for it because he kept getting protected and given second chances by some high level NXT officials.

Think the worst non-sexual related allegation against him was him being an illicit drugs supplier for talent in NXT leading to NXT having a serious drug problem going down at one point.

[Evil Vito]

Dream is probably the biggest waste of a talent I can remember.

[Emperor Smeat]

For sure.

Not only was he on track to be a potential future big star for WWE, he also was on track to be one of the rare big successes from Tough Enough and a legit home grown big star on the men's side developed in NXT.

NXT's done a good job developing home grown stars on their women's side but have done poorly when it comes to home grown stars on their men's side. All of their notable big stars from NXT since its existence either came from FCW or from the indies instead.

Braun Strowman is probably the only real notable big home grown male star developed from NXT but his time there was just him being the muscle for Bray's group and someone who hit their ceiling hard on the main roster for success.

[erickman]

For sure.

yeah the men ether come from roh or impact

[GD]

I'm waiting for Noid's opinion considering he may have never seen a Velveteen Dream match from start to finish.

[Emperor Smeat]

PWI confirmed Don Callis is out as an executive in Impact Wrestling but will be sticking around as an on-screen talent for the foreseeable future.

Multiple sources have confirmed to PWInsider.com that Don Callis is no longer an executive in any capacity for Anthem Media or Anthem Wrestling. We are working on additional details, but Callis is still a performer for the company.

[erickman]

guess it was too much for don, but he did get alot done in 4 years. so he can retire to just on air role.

Damn. Dream was trying to bring old school wrestling back.

[Emperor Smeat]

Turns out Dream was also a huge pervert towards other talent in NXT since Fightful is currently working on a big story about him.

He got busted at one point for taking voyeuristic videos of others in the company.

Seems NWA has a growing bad rep of being a very low pay company to work for.

ROH and indie wrestler Tony Deppen was the latest wrestler to hint that in a recent Q&A session he had.

ROH World Television Champion Tony Deppen went live on Ring of Honor’s Facebook for a Q&A. Deppen was asked if he would ever work for the National Wrestling Alliance and said he would not because he likes to be paid for his work.

"I have no [real] desire to work with NWA. I wanna make money, simple as that. Would it be cool to work with Nick [Aldis]? Yeah. I met him once or twice. Real nice dude, it’d be cool to work with him. But, I’m not looking to work for exposure, I’m looking to work for money."
LINK: https://www.facebook.com/ringofhonor/videos/2177723449029664

MLW used to have a similar bad rep but supposedly have started to pay their talent more money due to all the added revenues coming in from their new tv and streaming deals.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Don Callis was probably a PR disaster waiting to happen, but TNA didn’t want to admit it, so they just fired him as an executive.

Holy fucking shit, Don Muraco is coming out with a new podcast and his first topic is Mr. Fuji.

I've been dreaming of this day.

I used to live in the same town as Mr. Fuji and bought pills from him twice when I was like 14. Xanax. He worked as a ticket taker at the Regal Cinemas and would sell pills to those who he knew. My older friend had the hookup. Once I got them at the Cinema and once at his house. My brother ended up buying his house after he died.
